Project 4: Here to Help by Jen Getting Walls in Show Shape Need help getting your walls in show shape? Ask Jen at jlsevern@yahoo.com Getting Walls in Show Shape To wrap paintings and store them. This will get the walls in show shape! Today my mom wrapped the paintings up and I carried them over to the storage area. We finished the basement! I worked for four hours, but my mom has logged many more on this project. I was able to carry them for her. She is a very hard working strong woman and I was so happy to come along side her today! I thought about my dad a bit today as I was logging my 3.5 miles carrying paintings. I love art because of my parents. I wish my dad could see my mom now. He would be looking down so proud of her!

I remebered how they have enjoyed this place and all the gifts that have surrounded this prope...

Project 3: Here to Help by Jen Closet Clean Out Need Help Cleaning Out a Closet? Ask Jen at jlsevern@yahoo.com Assignment: This closet was stuffed full of old hobby gear and other miscellaneous items. Sort out trash, good will and treasures and distribute accordingly. This project was a labor of love to help my mom. After my dad passed he left behind all his gear for his hobbies.

PROJECT 2: PLANTING FLOWERS & A GARDEN CLIENT'S REQUEST: PURCHASE AND PLANT FLOWERS AND GARDEN VEGETABLES. ADD COLOR TO A GORGEOUS BACK PATIO AND FRONT PORCH BY PLANTING FLOWERS.  PLANTING YELLOW SQUASH, ZUCCHINI, GREEN, RED AND YELLOW PEPPERS, CUCUMBERS, TOMATOS AND CARROTS TO A VEGETABLE GARDEN. I got this project through my friend who I get all my yummy Wild Tree products from Carrie. Her friend needed help planting.

I am hoping that I get to see updates on all the beautiful blooms that share their glory this summer and the bountiful harvest that their garden will yield! I bought all the flowers & veggies, planted about 13 pots and two ra...
